Ridgid announced the launch of their new Job site radio and race scanner. We haven’t seen any test or reviews yet, but hopefully we can test this new product soon. This job site radio is powered by either 120V or cordless using a 12V to 24V NiCad or Lithium battery. One nice feature is the ability to charge small devices such as your cell phone while you are jamming out to your favorite songs.

On the front of the radio you can plug in your Ipod or other MP3 palyers, plus the radio has a top tray to store small items. Your ipod will also charge while sitting in the docking station. This radio also has an antena in case you need to get better reciption.
